    The two-family house shares the row's design by Louis Berger & Company: a full-height rounded bay, a limestone door hood with a decorated frieze, stone lintels incised with arabesques and an egg-and-dart cornice hung with festoons. The commission's survey found the stoop, cornice and double wood-and-glass doors original; later changes included replacement windows, basement security grilles, a replaced gate under the stoop and an alarm fixed to the second-story sill course.
